%X This chapter analyses the capitalist city model on the basis of the existing struggle between the dominant space of capitalism and the spaces experienced by the inhabitants of towns and cities. This model is mapped on the Andalusian territory from a series of cases of urban social struggles against the capitalist city model that have been generated in recent years and grouped according to some of the most significant frameworks where these conflicts occur: urban renewal and gentrification processes, the touristification of neighbourhoods and mass tourism (overtourism), the dismantling of public space, major international events and excessive urban growth. The interrelation between all these manifestations of the capitalist city will allow the presentation of a series of reflections on the practices, strategies and discourses of urban social struggles in Andalusia.
%X This chapter analyzes the model of the capitalist city based on the struggle between the dominant space of capitalism and the vital spaces of those who inhabit towns and cities. This model is mapped on the Andalusian territory from a series of cases of urban social struggles against the city model that have been generated in recent years. These cases are grouped according to some of the most significant frameworks within which these conflicts occur: urban renewal and gentrification processes, touristification of neighborhoods and overtourism, the dismantling of public space, major international events and disproportionate urban growth. The interrelation between all these manifestations of the capitalist city will allow the presentation of a series of reflections on the practices, strategies and discourses of urban social struggles in Andalusia.
